I expected this from you. It is natural to want to defend oneself. The truth is the shenanigans that go in here simply aren't a part of the makeup of the other boards I am on. You can find it unbelievable all you like, but it doesn't change it. Perhaps we just run in different circles.

Really? Discussions on "Primes vs Zooms" on some of the photography forums that I visit make this place look genteel in that extended-pinkie-while-drinking-tea kind of way. And then there's high-end audio forums... hoo boy.

Worst I have seen have been r/c car forums. It's amazing how much grown men can argue about toys.

Yeah I knew about it. It was actually his producer that was shot dead. I read about it in this article. It seems it could be a bit of a conspiracy just like John Noveske's death. http://m.naturalnews.com/news/038616...car_crash.html

Over the years, I have allowed myself (and still do on occasion) to be provoked for no good reason, and I retaliate in kind. I have gotten better at letting it go, but I am not perfect.

My point is that there is thick skin in the traditional sense; not allowing criticism get to you, then there is the internet brand of thick skin, which is an industrial grade asbestos body suit.

I come in here (this thread) for entertainment. For the most part, that's what happens - entertainment. A loosely run thread on a loosely run board is bound to spill over the boundaries of civility and common courtesy. This has been the most contentious Addiction I have been a part of, mostly because as sbxx1985 pointed out, I 'bad mouthed' this thread for its most recognized trait - padding post count.

So shoot me - I bad mouthed a thread.

So, let me 'splain...no, too much. Let me sum up. I'll do my part to keep it civil, but only because that body suit is uncomfortable and I can't drink my coffee while wearing it.
